While Mr. bhaskar proposes a practical roadmap for India to leverage its nuclear capability, we seem to be neglecting other options. There is a covert programme independently by India and a few other western powers to develop space based lasers known as 'kali'. then there is also the Surya ICBM in the pipeline. The key to safeguarding our nuclear arsenal lies in making them as adaptable to the navy as possible. To put it very bluntly, without startegic control of Afghanistan, for all of India's great power aspirations, its sphere of control only extends to the Indian Ocean and the Far East.
